Here's a virtually free grammar game, that I really enjoyed making and Tommie really enjoyed playing....
Since, we recycle everything (almost), I took a pizza lid, hot glued 6 boxes checks come in to the top, and made little index cards (the florescent kind...because they're happy looking!) and printed six different parts of speech/grammar titles on them...I also put the defination on the cards, incase Tommie got mixed up.... I then made a stack of maybe 100 different card strips, with the words that apply to the index cards...I then put, the 100 words in a basket, mixed them up, sat him on the floor, with our Nest video of Abraham Lincoln, playing and he worked independently on his grammar, while watching the movie...while I ran on the treadmill!
Happy to report....he got all but two of them correct...in about 20 minutes. Of course, we'll have to review...but I think it will be a "welcome review!"
I plan to use this game, again...only replace the index cards with irregular verbs, possesive pronouns, etc. And, now my mind is spinning about what eles I can create!
Thought I'd share this...because it was free, fast and effective! And, not workbook dry!
P.S. Yes, that's our perfect family pet, sticking her head in the picture! |
